MSFT is trying to do it with two srategies:<BR/><BR/>1)Q&A platform - getting users who might not usually publish on the web (read uncrawlable data for Google) to publish their knowledge<BR/>2)Social Search - currently this has the potential to attack PageRank.<BR/><BR/>This is definitely a strategy being employed by a player that has nothing to lose!Anilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15652261490827829798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-1145048092899218212006-04-14T13:54:00.000-07:002006-04-14T13:54:00.000-07:00Great point, OR.

MSN may be thrashing ...err, I mean... experimenting with lots of different things in an unstructured way, seeing if they get traction anywhere.Greg Lindenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09216403000599463072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-1145040373665056042006-04-14T11:46:00.000-07:002006-04-14T11:46:00.000-07:00What I really think is that MS will copy anything ...What I really think is that MS will copy anything that looks good, hoping to keep releasing different search features until something takes off. They are trying to gain traction in any area of search they can. So they will introduce all kinds of different search products - regular MSN search, Windows Live Ajaxy Search products, Social Search products, etc. <BR/><BR/>What we are really witnessing here is that MS search is still in test mode, and they are not sure were to focus in the search arena yet.ornoreply@blogger.com
